You can create your own custom themes by creating a new instance of the [Theme](Serilog.Sinks.RichTextBox.WinForms.Colored/Sinks/RichTextBoxForms/Themes/Theme.cs) class and passing it to the `RichTextBox` extension method. Look at the [existing themes](Serilog.Sinks.RichTextBox.WinForms.Colored/Sinks/RichTextBoxForms/Themes/ThemePresets.cs) for examples.

### Why a WinForms RichTextBox and not WPF?
83

The themes based on the original sinks are slightly adjusted to
84

be [WCAG compliant](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/contrast-minimum), ensuring that the contrast ratio
85

between text and background colors is at least 4.5:1.

This sink is designed for WinForms apps to avoid pulling in the WPF framework and its dependencies.

You can create your own custom themes by creating a new instance of

the [Theme](Serilog.Sinks.RichTextBox.WinForms.Colored/Sinks/RichTextBoxForms/Themes/Theme.cs) class and passing it to
89

the `RichTextBox` extension method. Look at

the [existing themes](Serilog.Sinks.RichTextBox.WinForms.Colored/Sinks/RichTextBoxForms/Themes/ThemePresets.cs) for
